• Investment in human capital through upper-secondary and tertiary education (2002, background): “As discussed in Blöndal et al. (2002), the internal rates fall at an increasingly rapid rate as a function of age due to a shorter period to amortise investment costs as the remaining working life becomes shorter, even turning negative for long-lasting tertiary studies for persons aged 50 and over.”
• Globalisation, knowledge and the myth of the magnet economy (2006, background): “Returns to education: private real rates of return, university-level education, 1999–2000 (source: Blöndal et al., 2002, p. 19)There are a number of problems with this kind of evidence.”
